They’re relationships. They take shape through collaboration: between clients, designers, plants, seasons, and the contractors and gardeners whose skilled labor makes a landscape possible.

My practice focuses on site-specific residential gardens across Southern California, balancing ecological sensitivity with strong spatial structure and long-term care.

I’m AJ Canfield, a Los Angeles–based landscape designer with over five years of experience and degrees in Landscape Architecture and Urban & Regional Studies from Cornell.

I don’t have a garden of my own yet, but I’m kept busy living vicariously through the outdoor spaces of others — and through a small (slightly overcommitted) collection of houseplants.
